Fight The Tears: Bizarre Creations Closes On Friday

Despite releasing the brilliant Blur last year, Develop's reporting that British studio, Bizarre Creations, will close their doors on Friday

The Merseyside team has been behind some of our favourite games over the years, including Metropolis Street Racer and Project Gotham Racing. Despite releasing two good games last year — James Bond 007: Blood Stone and the aforementioned Blur — Activision wasn't happy with the title's commercial performances.

It sad to say goodbye to such a well liked (and obviously talented) studio such as Bizarre Creations, but it seems the way of the industry right now. Video games are a high stakes business, seems like you only get two strikes to deliver the goods. Hopefully the team find a new home elsewhere — worth knocking on Sony Liverpool and Evolution's door, right?
